Exploring Data Driven Design

The Design Practice Area blends collaboration, innovation, and technical expertise with structural engineering supporting clients in the Civic, Cultural, Commercial, Sports/Stadia, and Aviation market sectors. We focus on building lasting partnerships with architects and contractors by offering value-driven solutions across the design process. 

Clients benefit from our ability to immerse our engineers in the architectural design process, rapidly developing structural concepts using customized digital workflows. This early-stage collaboration de-risk projects from the outset, offering multiple design alternatives that aid decision-making. Stakeholders communicate better and achieve alignment quicker, ensuring the project remains on track for cost and schedule. 

Data-driven design differentiates us from competitors. We use advanced analytical tools to explore multiple design concepts and tackle challenges such as connection design, coordination, and embodied carbon metrics. By integrating these tools early, the design process is enhanced for architects general contractors and owners alike. This method not only brings efficiency but also positions design teams to engage in LeanSteel® opportunities, providing clients with a more cost-effective and sustainable approach. 

A holistic, partnership-driven approach leads to client success. Degenkolb’s leadership is embedded in every project, ensuring that we support the project team’s goals and vision. Our firm is dedicated to offering full-spectrum structural engineering services, with an emphasis on de-risking the design and construction process, all while providing timely, high-quality deliverables.
